Getting started with Foam - Non-Dev Edition

[@RudiBruchez]

Thanks, you did a good job making it simple for non technical folks to use it.

[@jamiebrannan1557]

Thank you! I was really lost testing out Foam until I found this.

[@RheinardKorf]

You are very welcome. I still think I can make it simpler to start, but I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@Link-2025]

Thanks this was very helpful. It is a lot less daunting to start trying it out now.

[@TheInternetFan]

thank you RK, I followed this tutorial, even though it's a bit old and this time got some fair results out of Foam.

[@RheinardKorf]

Glad that helped you!

[@lawrence_teo]

Thank you so much for the video. This is just what I am searching for to get started on using Foam.

[@ethelbeckett]

Just getting started with foam and this is very helpful. thank you

[@guscerv6361]

Great tutorial! Really helpful, looking forward for the next ones

[@EdgarWongBaxterJr]

thank you so much for sharing, this what exactly the type of overview I was looking for!

[@shashanksharma21]

Super helpful! Thank you for sharing! I will finally get started with Foam :)

[@yashveernathawat8154]

In India , we call Mummy! ......Good Video..Thankx for tutorial

[@vmunhoz]

Thank you! Really nice video and easy to follow.

[@mamunurrashid5652]

Thank you for creating this helpful tutorial...

[@peyton857]

Fantastic tutorial - thank you!

[@WokeSoros]

Interesting. I’ve become quite taken with Dendron lately.

[@jeevanmarg]

Would be great if you talk about the graph in Foam. Great video.

Thanks for the video, I’m looking for a way to create documentation for debugging and this looks as a good fit. I have been reading about obsidian and the zettelkasten method, thanks again

[@WokeSoros]

Give dendron a peak too if those other options don’t meet your needs.

@@WokeSoros Awesome, thank for the suggestion, I will check

[@coolwinder]

Whats the best way ti insert screenshots into foam notes?

[@Link-2025]

There's an extension for vs-code called paste image. Works pretty well for me.

[@JV-zj4wk]

Hey rheingold, can you do the same "getting start" video for dendron.so?

[@RheinardKorf]

Thanks for reaching out. I have not tried Dendron, but at a quick glance I'm not sure its for me. I will put it on a "Must try" list so that I can find out :)

[@kurshadqaya1684]

Thanks!

[@linuxsport]

Good stuff!

[@pspicer777]

This is all well and good. The mouse thing is a distraction though. So maybe a Vim plugin and key mappings?

[@RheinardKorf]

Can definitely add more fine tuning. If you’re a Vim user, sure, you will get a much more distraction free experience. The Foam plug-in comes with some key bindings I haven’t shared in the video. The idea for this video is a non-dev intro. I personally have a separate code profile just for my personal “Foam” setup. The rabbit hole goes deep 😁 Added to this I also have a git integration to publish my docs as a static site.

[@pspicer777]

@@RheinardKorf Many thanks for the response. I will have to install and play ... _"the rabbit hole goes deep"_ wouldn't want it any other way - what fun 🥰. Always fresh, always something new to learn. After 40+ years the excitement remains. Thanks for the video. Be safe RK.

[@sergeysemkin6570]

Чел, хорош!😁

[@Eduardado]

It really was helpful. Thanks man I love it. Do you store your notes on the cloud also? What system do you use? :D

[@RheinardKorf]

Glad you found it helpful. I do store my notes in the cloud. Because its mostly text I actually use Git and GitHub to store all my notes.

[@Eduardado]

@@RheinardKorf Awesome! Do you commit changes or have it also automated ? If so? how you do it? :D

[@RheinardKorf]

@@Eduardado I might have to do a video on that. I have it semi-automated. When I commit my changes it triggers a Netlify workflow that builds an 11ty site.

[@Eduardado]

@@RheinardKorf I'm in :D

[@star-air9419]

GOOD!👍赞

[@teeI0ck]

nice

[@merqri]

If you are not a developer, give a try to Obsidian.
